Winter Camping!

To get this blog started, I will post about some winter camping we did last weekend. Friday evening Ben (a friend from Quebec), my brother Cameron, and myself snowmobiled out to a place we found while exploring a couple of weekends before.

After digging a 4' x 8' area in the snow down almost to the ground, we covered the area with a tarp. Since we were rather ill-prepared because it was a last-minute idea, the setup was pretty sketchy. However, we managed to sleep for a few hours, before packing it in around 4:30am. - minus 20 degrees C starts to feel brutally cold after a while!

Before coming home, we snowmobilied to Tim Hortons (24-hour coffee shop), where we received a few odd looks in addition to the hot chocolates we had ordered! Oh well...

I've posted several more photos of our night in the snow on my Photo Journal...Enjoy!
